Bride Lauren Sanchez Bezos reveals wedding secrets from her very apt 'something blue' to why she changed her gown design as she gushes 'I am the luckiest woman on the planet! after marrying Jeff Bezos
On Friday, Amazon billionaire finally married his fiancee of two-years Lauren Sanchez in a lavish multi-day celebration.
Following the highly-anticipated nuptials, Sanchez was selected as Vogue's digital cover girl.
The fashion magazine used a photograph of the former TV presenter wearing her lavish Dolce and Gabbana gown - which she revealed made her new husband 'gasp'.
In the image, Lauren showed off her stunning wedding dress in the image, which contained lacy, floral sleeves, a tight bodice, high neckline, long flowing skirt with an enormous train, and buttons down the front.
The glamorous, figure-hugging number showcased her stunning physique. The blushing new bride's long brown tresses were pulled back behind a vail and she wore striking makeup.
Sanchez posed in the exquisite wedding dress for a pre-wedding photoshoot with Vogue magazine.
While chatting with the publication, she recalled feeling like a 'princess' during her dress fitting, which took place in Milan, Italy.
'It was more powerful than I thought,' she added of the moment she put it on for the first time.
She also revealed that Jeff had begged to see her in the gown, but as is tradition for most brides, she explained that she wasn't going to let him lay his eyes upon it until the big day.
'I almost gave in,' she admitted. 'But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face.'
This was not the only tradition the couple stuck with: Sanchez also donned 'something borrowed' for the ceremony - a pair of Dolce earrings.
And she explained to Vogue what her unusual (but very apt) 'something blue' was.
Sanchez revealed that she took a 'secret souvenir up in the rocket' when she travelled to Space recently on the Blue Origin flight so she could bring it back for the wedding.
This was because 'it was literally one of the most profound experiences I've ever had in my life. Seeing Earth from space, I came down and I couldn't describe it. It was the greatest experience I've ever had'.
Sanchez added: ' Jeff said, "It's gonna change you more than you think", and it completely has, visually, spiritually.'
Lauren was quick to change her Instagram username to include her new name, swapping it to @laurensanchezbezos and wiping out all of her old posts.
Just an hour later, she followed up with some behind-the-scenes snaps of her wedding gown.
In a carousel post, the former journalist was seen standing inside a decadent room in Venice, wearing the high-neck lace dress and showing off its dramatic silhouette.
The second photo, a black and white image, showed Lauren and her team helping her get into the gown, while the third image featured designer Domenico Dolce placing the lace veil on her head.
She tagged the team behind her look, which included Rick Henry, Laura Mele, Iram Shelton and Jamie Mizrahi.
'Not just a gown, a piece of poetry,' she captioned the post. 'Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made.'
Their lavish multi-day wedding celebration is estimated to have cost them $20 million.
A slew of their famous friends including Gayle King, Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump, Orlando Bloom, Usher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner, amongst others, attended their nuptials.
Guests at the luxurious affair were greeted to the sounds of trumpets, violins and a Gospel Choir when they arrived.
The choir also broke out into song again after the couple said 'I do,' belting out Whitney Houston's Higher Love.
Guests were heard cheering and singing along during the touching moment.
Opera star Matteo Bocelli kicked off the couple's wedding reception, opening up his set with the iconic Elvis Presley track I Can't Help Falling in Love With You.
The son of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli was called in as his dad is performing in concerts in southern Italy this weekend and couldn't attend.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice is attended by Queen Rania of Jordan and her family as King's wife stuns in a glitzy Armani couture dress
Queen Rania of Jordan turned heads as she stepped out in an extravagant designer gown to celebrate Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos 's $46 million nuptials this weekend. The royal, 54, was snapped as she was helped by several security men onto a water taxi in Venice alongside her daughter, Princess Iman, as they joined other A-listers in celebrating the Amazon billionaire's three-day wedding. Over the multi-day event, Rania has continuously put her best fashion foot forward and has been seen sporting designer brands from Armani to Fendi. On Friday, she brought her fashion A-game as she proudly sported her new Armani gown from the Italian brand's spring/summer 2025 couture collection. The Queen had all eyes on her as she donned the regal metallic multi-coloured strapless dress, which was adorned with elegant pink floral details from top to bottom. The classy, tulle frock grazed her ankles and she paired it with a grey shawl which was elegantly wrapped around her shoulders. Rania - who is married to King Abdullah - opted to pair her glamorous ensemble with diamond jewellery and a cream patterned clutch bag, as to not draw focus away from her designer look. She wore her lengthy caramel brown tresses down in her signature bouncy blow-dry and opted for Hollywood glamour makeup with smokey eye-shadow and pale pink lipstick. Boarding the water taxi alongside Rania was her daughter, Princess Iman, 28, who donned a bespoke Oscar de la Renta green butterfly-detailed chiffon dress. She wore her brunette tresses slicked back in a tight bun and paired her chic outfit with FerriFirenze sole gold earrings, previously worn by her mother. Rania was seen departing from Venice Marco Polo Airport in a stylish outfit after a lavish past couple of days celebrating Sanchez and Bezos in one of the most romantic cities in the world. She wore a white REMAIN Birger Christensen cutout stretch-organic cotton-jersey top paired with black Alo suit up trousers. To accessorise, Rania opted to wear a black Jacquemus 'the medium bambola' asymmetric bucket bag, complete with black Emporio Armani sunglasses. This was a much more relaxed look in comparison to Thursday's ensemble, where Rania stepped out in a regal Fendi frock that was seen on the fashion house's Autumn/Winter 2018 Couture Collection catwalk. The shimmery sleeveless taupe dress certainly turned heads as the mesh tulle layer was embroidered with diamantes, which glistened in the warm Italian sun. Rania wrapped a cream shawl around her shoulders and paired her ensemble with blush pink pointed heels. The Queen was the picture of elegance as she wore her caramel brown hair in a low ponytail, with two curled strands sitting along her cheeks and opted for glamorous makeup, donning smoky eye shadow, blush and pale pink lipstick. Her son Crown Prince Hussein, 30, was also in attendance alongside his wife Princess Rajwa and their baby daughter, Princess Iman, who is less than a year old. The family made a rare and unexpected appearance in Italy for Lauren and Jeff 's big day and were snapped heading from the quay into a water taxi after flying into Venice's Marco Polo airport. Crown Prince Hussein held Princess Iman - who was wearing a Tartine Et Chocolat daisy embroidered dress - in his arms as the pair waited for their transport. To keep the extraordinary gown as the main focus of her ensemble, she kept her accessories relatively simple, adding a plain ream clutch bag, a simple silver bangle and hoops. Rania's relationship with Bezos has spanned almost a decade and she first met the tech founder alongside her husband at the Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman in 2016. Rania was also present at Lauren and Jeff's engagement party onboard their $500 million yacht Koru. Princess Rajwa, 31, opted for a casual and unassuming outfit consisting of a Kayla chocolate shrunken linen shirt paired with a Citizens of Humanity 'Brynn' brown drawstring linen trousers. She also donned a Bottega Veneta 'Hop' large intrecciato-weave brown suede shoulder bag, Alexander McQueen logo trainers. To accessorise, donned a Rajwa Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1983C Cat-Eye sunglasses in Bordeaux Bark and 0.50ct heart shaped ruby and blackened gold single 'Gypset' hoop earring, which she paired with the 0.20ct diamond and gold version. The pair have joined A-listers such as Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Orlando Bloom, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey for the extravagant three-day gathering, which will come to a close on Saturday. Lauren and Jeff were pictured at one of their many wedding events held at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters. But the couple and their famous guests were forced to take cover on Thursday as their pre-wedding party was hit by a huge freak thunderstorm. Guests dived for cover under the vaulted cloisters as lightning bolts flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled overhead at the end of what was a torridly humid day with temperatures nudging 36° Celsius. Torrential downpours and a strong wind left guests soaked as they then dashed for water taxis which had been scrambled a good 45 minutes ahead of the midnight finish time. The strong gusts of winds whipped table cloths away and sent waiters scurrying for umbrellas to protect the VIP attendees. One onlooker said: 'It just goes to show you can have all the money in the world but you can't control the weather - although an Italian saying says a wet bride is a happy and lucky bride.' Kim, 44, and her younger sister Khloe, 40, struggled to stay dry in their couture gowns as their security team guided them to their designated water taxi. Kylie, who is the younger half-sister of Kim and Khloe, reacted to the weather by sharing a photo of her rain-soaked water taxi to her Instagram Story. Bride-to-be Lauren was surrounded by tuxedo-clad gentleman carrying blue umbrellas over her as she carefully stepped on to her awaiting boat. The TV personality, 55, had on a striking off-the-shoulder dress with a dramatic gold corset cinching in her already tiny waist. Bezos, 61 - who popped the question in 2023 with a $3 million engagement ring - was seen following closely behind Lauren with an umbrella over his head. In footage obtained by Lauren appeared to be in high spirits despite the rain ending their soiree early. Once inside the water taxi, she was seen sharing a laugh with Bezos as the downpour intensified. The Amazon billionaire and his bride-to-be are said to have invited 200 people to their three-day Italian wedding. Along with Ellie Goulding, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ivanka Trump, the star-studded guest list includes Mick Jagger and Tom Brady. Earlier this week, a copy of the couple's invite was leaked with one very specific request made on behalf of the couple. They've asked guests not to buy them any presents and told them they'll be making donations to multiple charities working to stop Venice from sinking on attendees' behalf instead. Bezos is thought to be spending roughly $15 to $20 million on his and Lauren's Italian nuptials.

Go, greased lightnin': He reprised his role as Danny Zuko from the 1978 hit musical He added: 'No one knew. Not even the cast. Thank you for a great evening.' He adopted his character's swagger as he stepped on stage wearing dark jeans, a tight black T-shirt, and a black leather jacket. The actor, who has been sporting a shaved head, wore a wig styled into a greaser-friendly ducktail, along with a scruffy beard. He then joined Grease cast members Didi Conn, Barry Pearl, Michael Tucci, Kelly Ward, and director Randal Kleiser on stage. Taking the microphone, Travolta delivered some of his iconic lines from the moment Danny reunites with his Summer Nights sweetheart Sandy (played by the late Olivia Newton-John) on the first day of school at Rydell High. 'I thought you were going back to Australia!' and then remembering he was the big man on campus, dropped into the nonchalant, 'that's cool, that's cool, that's cool baby,' I'm rockin' and rollin' and whatnot.' He then led the cast and audience in a chant of 'A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom!' Standing in front of a big screen, he then told the crowd, 'Enjoy the show. We love you!'

Soccer culture clash at Club World Cup as American woman reports Argentine fans to cops over 'throwing beer and shoving' - but they say SHE was wrong
A clash of cultures erupted at Seattle's Lumen Field during the Club World Cup as an American woman reported a group of Argentine fans to stadium staff and police. The tensions occurred during Inter Milan 's 2-0 victory over River Plate earlier in the week - a match that was heated on the pitch as well, with the Buenos Aires side receiving two red cards and six booking issued in total. The woman described being surrounded by River fans who refused to respect assigned seating and crowded into her section in raucous fashion. She explained on social media that the situation turned physical when she confronted the fans, claiming they threw beer on her and shoved her boyfriend away. She called security, and eventually local police arrived to intervene. The woman could be heard screaming in a video uploaded on TikTok: 'This is our seat, we paid for the seat.' One of the River fans responded: 'We paid too,' before the American woman demanded they showed their tickets. @_jung_kook_wifey We approach them with our tickets in our hand and they're like 'there's no assigned seats' like we don't go to almost every Sounder game and know the drill. They got aggressive real quick throwing beer and shoving my bf and pulling my hair. #ClubWorldCup ♬ original sound - lou ❀𓇼𓏲☘︎ River Plate fans ignored ticket allocations and sat in her set, leading to a heated confrontation The woman alleged that beer was thrown on her hair and that her boyfriend was shoved away The River fan then said: 'You can sit anywhere, it doesn't matter [about] your ticket,' much to the woman's frustration, who insisted again: 'It does. This is our seat, we paid for the seat.' In South American football culture, supporters often cluster together and ignore seat assignments on their tickets. The woman recognised this, but argued that these norms do not override the fact she paid for a specific seat. She wrote on TikTok: 'I can support futbol culture but that does not mean disregarding the stadium's rules or jurisdiction. 'This was not a general admission event! Otherwise, tickets would have been priced THE SAME. 'Choosing to ignore assigned seating - and worse, attempting to physically intimidate or assault others out of their PAID spaces - is not only entitled, it's unlawful. 'You cannot assault your way into getting what you want just because you are not 'used to the customs set in place.' However, many fans under the woman's video did not extend any sympathy, arguing she should have been prepared for a culture clash before buying her tickets. The woman went on to accuse one fan of swearing and smoking a cigarette in the ground One fan commented: 'In South America your ticket gets you into the stands and no seat allocation as no one sits down anyway. The seats are a free for fall, if you come late. You lose out. So happy Americans are getting a taste of real football.' Another wrote: 'That's how it works in ultras sector. You should know that before you buy tickets.' A third said: 'To be fair in South America and many countries, seat allocations don't matter. You sit where there's space.' The woman shared more details of the incident in another slideshow on TikTok, where she went on to reveal that one man was also swearing at her and smoking a cigarette in the ground.
